"Slade and I were completely powerless. Us, who have had far more training than you, who have had far more... experiences than you. I can't have that happening to you, Cassandra. None of it. I don't want you in our place, I don't want you in Kellein's place. I want you out of it. Completely, if I can so help it. I want you close enough that I can keep an eye on you and make sure you aren't in The Game, but I want you far enough away that I don't have to see you in such horrific situations. Do you understand now?"
Cassandra nodded. She understood now.
Kellein... poor sweet Kellein... If only Alex knew... NO! "You need to remove any trace of Kellein's death from me!" She was frantic now... "Please... I have been practicing occlumency, but if Alex... I... if I'm off guard... please professor." She walked up close to him. "I will need to remember this conversation, just not the image of Kellein. Please." She pleaded with him.
